I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

This bundle contains 18 assessments for Chemistry, each assessment comes with a task print out, easy marking resources, level ladder/mark scheme and more!
To purchase these resources separately would cost over £50!
NOW INCLUDING
All of my level ladders for practical based assessments, these allow students and staff to assess methods, graphs, conclusions and more!
This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying pollution, combustion, the impact of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide and the carbon cycle.
This resource pack comes with several parts;
1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task.
2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books.
3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria.
4. Word document containing a mark scheme.
5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.

6. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task.
7. jpeg image showing a hand-drawn version of the carbon cycle which has been inserted into the powerpoint, but may also be useful for students who aren’t confident in laying out their work.
This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE.
This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system…

Chemical Calculations- Reacting Masses
This is a resource pack for the Reacting Masses calculations.
I have made a range of resources for the calculations that AQA GCSE students will be expected to complete for the new Chemistry specification (8462).
The resources packs contain
1. PowerPoint showing the key stages/background information on the calculation.
2. Word document with a printout showing the stages to complete the calculation.
3. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions.
4. WMV video clip this format is playable in most programs, such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and the VLC Media Player. The video clip goes through the stages of the calculations on the worksheet, this is extremely useful for students (and teachers) who are struggling to see where the answer comes from.
5. Word document containing just the answers.
There are a total of 8 resource packs for the Reacting Masses calculations.

This is a worksheet I made to help my students to practice the graphs skills required for the ISA controlled assessment, I've also included questions that regularly come up on paper two.
This sheet has been done in the context of testing how temperature affects the viscosity of oils however this could easily be adapted to suit other investigations.
I intend on uploading a mark scheme for this after I have delivered this lesson.
Just a quick spread sheet that shows each lesson title in each unit in AQA's new (accredited in 2016) courses for Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462)and Physics (8463).
This could be used as a route through the GCSE used to inform planning, I actually made it to tick off the work covered so far so that whoever picks up my classes knows what they have already done.
The required practical's are highlighted in orange.
The triple science content is bordered in blue.
I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the CHEMISTRY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need.
All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them.
I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference.
For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference.
